A MAN-size Flash for the 10D/300D

[Dukeofurl]

Does anyone think that there is enough of a demand for Canon to come out with a TTL-E flash the size of a 480EG?

I would'nt wait for it you might be better getting a third party lens such as Metz or Sunpack. From my understanding the Rebel D was realesed to capture the average consumer market so there will be very little options to upgrade for unless you can do some in home modifying.

Oop's typing to fast, The last EOS Magazine that I've received states that the 10D can use the 480EG but again not to sure about the Rebel D.

do you have the instruction how to make the canon 480eg work with 10D ??? I tried but I can't make it work . thanks for help

The 480EG is not compatible with ETTL. It is compatible with TTL-Canon Film Cameras, Manual Flash, and Auto Thyristor Flash. To use it on a 10D, 20D or any other Canon digital camera, you need to set it to Auto or Manual, not TTL. For that kind of money you would be better off with a Quantum T4D, which will do ETTL with a dedicated adapter cord, in addition to Auto and Manual.
